Sewage Cleanup Services Our Albion Team Performs
Here's what our certified Albion Sewage Cleanup crew handles on every job.
Containment Setup & Source Control
The first action our Albion sewage crew takes on any Category 3 event is establishing negative-pressure containment — critical plastic sheeting barriers that prevent sewage contamination from spreading into unaffected areas of the property through airborne particles, foot traffic, and air circulation. Containment also controls odor migration within the property while remediation is underway. Simultaneously, we identify and coordinate the correction of the blockage or failure that caused the backup — whether that's a main line obstruction, a failed cleanout, or a sump failure — so that remediation isn't interrupted by a secondary event.
Category 3 Extraction & Material Removal
No material gets dried in place unless it passes decontamination protocol first.
Multi-Phase Antimicrobial Sanitization
After material removal, every remaining structural surface — framing, subfloor sheathing, masonry, concrete, and any hard surface that contacted sewage water in your Albion property — receives a multi-phase sanitization treatment using EPA-registered, hospital-grade antimicrobial and antifungal agents. The sanitization sequence includes spray application, documented dwell time, surface contact, and at minimum one additional application after the first dwell cycle. This is not a one-spray process. The S520 protocol our Albion team follows is designed to address the pathogen load that Category 3 water deposits on structural surfaces.
Odor Neutralization & Air Treatment
Odor neutralization is a final treatment step, not a product sprayed at the end to cover incomplete remediation.
Insurance & Backup Coverage Claims
Most NY homeowner's policies cover sewage backup events under a backup coverage rider. Our Albion claim coordinators are familiar with the specific documentation that backup claims require — including the distinction between backup events (covered) and sewer line failures (may require separate coverage) — and build your claim file from the first day to match what your carrier's adjuster will look for. We file the claim, coordinate the adjuster visit, and follow the settlement through. You focus on your household; we handle the insurance.
Post-Remediation Reconstruction
After Category 3 remediation is confirmed complete by instrument readings and — where required — by third-party clearance testing, our licensed Albion reconstruction team rebuilds your property: new drywall, fresh insulation, flooring, paint, trim, and any affected cabinetry or millwork. All reconstruction is performed to the same documentation standard as the remediation phase, providing a complete recovery record from sewage event to finished property that your insurance carrier and any future property transaction will find clear and complete.
